So i have finally gotten the 94 gt engine into the car. It was a real pain, basically had to use the jdm engine as a long block, and switch everything over. Well after doing the timing belt, water pump. switching fuel rails and intake manifold, exhaust manifold, ect, I finally finished, sure enough, the car turns, but wont start. After doing all this, i dont even know where to start. If anyone could help, i would really appreciate it.

Check that you set timing up right.

If he has a big ground unhooked you'll have nothing when you turn the key.

Grounds are on the alt bracket to passenger strut tower. Transmission near shifter arms to driver side strut tower. Big one behind starter on transmission to neg battery and a little one branching from there near driver side head light.

There are also grounds behind the intake manifold. I think they are injector grounds.

If all grounds are good and timing is on, check for spark and fuel. Since you swapped all the electrical stuff over you should have no issues.
